So, long story short - the easiest way i found earn extra cash was to sell used textbooks and other books online. However, I needed to find the cheapest product that produced the biggest bang for the book.

That location - The Goodwill.:datazz:

The Goodwill is one of my favorite stores just to look in. You never know what you find.
However, the trick is when you look for textbooks, school books and study guides - head to the good will. Use your mobile phone and download the Amazon Price App. With it, you can scan the bar code of the books and see how much they go on line for. The good will usually sells books for no more than $2 or $3 the MOST. Use the USPS flat rate shpping box that are free to deliver at your house.

Once you find your books and ensure that they are in good shape - you sell them on Amazon or Ebay. It's easy money and your guaranteed to make a profit on most books. The biggest profit I made was like 60, the least was like 5, but hey - a profit is a profit.:yeshrug:

It's funny - CAC's be seeing me with my phone scanning books and they be like :flabbynsick:... I be like :childplease: mind your business and keep it rolling:old:

I"m deployed right now - but when i get back - i'm getting waist deep in the game breh's

Usually I go into a Goodwill or Salvation Army with like $10, and sell the books I have and make 200 profit. Also, keep in mind that you want to use the cheapest shipping rate as possible to capitalize on your profit.

Don't know if this will help you breh's out - but also passing on my game to yall:smugdraper:

One last thing - don't fukk with novels - throw those in the bushes.

Get money and :eat: well breh's

...that's a damn good idea...
I used to work for a used book store in college and was basically the one entering the books and such into amazon (pre smart phone and such). The store used to make a killing and the overhead was basically shipping . NOW though with the smart phone idea...this is a damn good idea...

interesting, but a lot of books in amazon go for 1 penny and then you pay like 3.99 for shipping

how much does it actually cost you to ship?

That's the beauty of the smart phone though, you scan the bar while you're then, check out the "going price" and the purchase accordingly....

It's damn near full/fool proof.

So your are not looking for junk books, but those that have good potential to sell online. You matching the books at the Goodwill on what is online. Shipping didn't cost more than 4 dollars i believe.
